Illinois Airplane Accident Lawyer
No one really expects an accident when a family member is traveling in an airplane, but there are inherent risks involved, and aviation accidents do occur. When they do, victims and their families need the assistance of a qualified aviation attorney.
Aviation accidents and disasters occur for many reasons, and often involve:
- Private, commercial or corporate airplanes
- Ultra-light planes
- Helicopters
- Hot air balloons
- Hydrofoils
Causes of Aviation Accidents
Airplane accidents can, and often do result in serious injury or death. With assistance from some of the most respected aviation experts in the country, the personal injury lawyers of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. are able to analyze the root causes of an aviation accident, from pilot error to airplane and engine design product liability accidents.
The most common causes of both major airline crashes and general aviation accidents include:
- Pilot error
- Bad weather
- Faulty equipment
- Federal Aviation Administration regulations violations
- Structural or design problems
- Negligence of flight service station employees
- Negligence of federal air traffic controllers
- Dangerous or defective airplane design or manufacture
Regardless of the reason for the disaster, the result is almost certain to be fatal for all on board. After an aviation accident, it is imperative that you contact an attorney skilled in the representation of plaintiffs in aviation lawsuits immediately.
It is highly likely that you will be contacted by a representative of the airline involved, who may be a defense attorney or somebody from an insurance company that is contacting you to offer a generous settlement. Do not sign any paperwork. Often, the settlement offer is well below what could be expected if the case went to court. You should contact a Chicago aviation accident attorney at our firm for assistance.
